I'm not sure what some other people are looking for but for me this hotel is perfect for so many reasons. I've stayed in most countries of the world and some of the best rated hotels while there and this hotel has a different enchanting feel to it that you don't get in big chain hotels. ||It's small but the gardens and pool area are stunning. The mix of old and new is tasteful and the thought that has gone in to the design is brilliance in my opinion. It's not fancy or cluttered it's simple and relaxed and all the staff are friendly and attentive.||I actually live in Puebla now and stayed there as a treat for my parents who visited and we couldn't fault it. Well there was one exception that the tamazcal couldn't be used as a regular thing it was by arrangement. Maybe if it was made dual use as a steam room it would make the evening use of the heated pool perfect. ||I intend to visit often again to chill out for lunch and by the pool or stay the odd night. ||Taking about good they do the second best steak I've had in my life (the first being about 20 x the cost in bones/Seattle) the rib eye is highly recommended and I tried most of the other cuts and preferred this one overall. ||I saw a comment about music which made me chuckle because the only music I've ever heard them playing is relaxing old style classics. That was an interesting comment.||Anyway I couldn't rate this place higher and in a way reluctant to rate it because in a way I don't want too many people to find out about it and make it busy. We stayed 3 nights in the week and it felt like we almost had the place to ourselves. ||If you want amazing steak, good margaritas, small boutique hotel with classic feel and the personal feel then this is honesty the best place I've been too like it. And to top it off it's almost always sunny in ataxico and they are 2 mins away from a great golf club I found while staying there called el christo (don't have to be a member to play...
Read moreWe totally recommend anyone to stay here if you want a lovely modern room with large comfortable bedroom in a Boutique Hotel that is stunning. The hotel has the authentic look of an old Traditional Mexican home but with modern comforts and very friendly staff who are attentive to your every need. The heated pool was fabulous and we can recommend the spar treatment. There is a traditional Sauna but we didn't have time to use it this time as you need to give notice for them to fire it up. The food is amazing and we can say it serves the best Steak we have found so far. There are extensive grounds to walk in and wild life to enjoy. They have many facilities to cater for weddings, parties etc. We definitely will be staying here again. Thanks for the lovely...
Read moreAtlixco is well known for having a wide variety of restaurants. Unfortunately, many close after just a few months in service. Fortunately, Las Calandrias is one of the good restaurants that have not closed in a long time. They offer a varied buffet, both for breakfast and lunch, with an ample selection of dishes. They also have a service island where you can ask for specific dishes, such as eggs prepared in many ways, tacos, meat cuts, and so on. The price is competitive, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The restaurant is in what once was a "hacienda", and has lots of green areas, peacocks and swans. It also serves a a boutique hotel, ideal for a couple of days...
